Re: [SG] Who is Joyce Brooks?

Hi Kathy,

JOYCE BROOK is a 1985 Jack Joiner introduction.  It's a semievergreen
diploid  with blossoms of pale yellow and a very neat etched rose eyezone
in 6" blossoms on 18" scapes.

During the heat of summer it's good to plant in shade, at least
temporarily, until fall when  you may safely give it a permanent bed in
full sun. Be sure to water deeply and avoid "sprinkling" overhead watering
in mid-summer, otherwise you may steam them.  Keep the soil moist, but not
the plant.

You may want to keep this daylily in permanent shade.  I think the
deciduous trees are great for the daylilies.  They get sun in winter and
early spring, then great shade for the summer when it is so welcome!

Let us know how this daylily does for you in the shade, will you?
